If using as cache drive, jsut plug it in and use the iNTel RST to set it up.

SSD's don't really need any tweaking to work right. I d oZERO optimizzation for them, as many laptoips ship wit hSSD's only, and many guides out there are based on having multiple drives. I like to leave everything default so that I can remove the other drives without comprimising the stability of my OS. NEvermind that I have multiple SSDs, each with an OS on them.

Remove the other drive if installing OS. Trust me on this one. That's not something for SSD's...that's just installing windows period. AS ssoon as install is done, and you get to desktop, you cna add the other drives, no problem, if you need them for drivers or something.

Windows will install the boot files to the lowest drive on the controller, even if you boot from different drives. It can be a real pain to figure out which port is hte lowest-numbered, so jsut pull the drive for simplicity's sake.

I don't think there's anything else..Win7 will recognize the drive as SSD and will enable TRIM no problem. Just make sure that scheduled defrag is disabled once in os.

The only thing I would think to do different is leaving the original account setup and not to delete it. You may find it useful as an administrator account. I deleted mine.

The other thought is that it may key the drives to specific sata ports and not allow for changing location. After setting up mine I wanted to try ssd on Marvell sata3 (6gb) port and it did not want to boot. I am using the native Intel sata2 ports.

If an SSD is the boot drive in Windows 7 it's a good idea to turn off auto-defrag as well as hibernate and system restore (just to save a bit of space and cut down on writes...unless you specifically want/need those features).

It uses system memory to cache this data. Windows 7 calls it free, but it still has to wipe that area of memory to actually use it. Since SSDs access data so quickly, the caching isn't necessarily needed. Also SuperFetch does write data to the hard drive. Where do you think it writes all the statistical information about what applications you run and what files you're likely to need?

Either way, I don't think disabling SuperFetch will make a whole lot of a difference, but disabling auto defrag is a must.

Actually all the tweaking is pretty much BS. If you're using Windows XP, then yes. But with Windows 7, Windows does all that by itself because it recognizes the SSD. It's SSD aware OS.
Only thing that you can disable is Hibernation if you don't want to wear SSD if your device goes to sleep constantly. But if it doesn't and you have hibernation set to long hours before it goes into effect, it doesn't really matter.

I was too fiddling with the tweaks constantly but now i see it's pointless because Windows 7 does it all by itself and works perfectly fine.
